The Mark on their Forehead
-
Shabbir Ahmed in "Quran As It Explains Itself" .... http//www.OurBeacon.Com
4829 Muhammad is Allah?s Messenger. And those who are with him are stern towards the rejecters, but full of compassion towards one another. You see them bowing, adoring, as they seek Allah?s Bounty and Acceptance. Their signs (of belief) are on their faces, the effects of adoration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel. Like a seed that brings forth its shoot, and then strengthens it, so that it grows thick, and then stands firm on its own stem, delighting those who have sown it. Consequently, it fills the rejecters with rage at them. But unto those who may yet attain belief and do works that help others, Allah promises forgiveness and Immense Reward.
Surah 49 ? Al-Hujurat ? The Private Apartments

Salaams Sal,
i thought i was explaining about the marks to do with heaven , which you mentioned ,
you said
"by the way , i think i read some ayat in the koran saying that those who will enter paradise will have marks on their faces ?"
salam mz357.
that was some other verse . i cant remember exactly . -
There are a number of things that indicate this prophecy is referring to muslims
1.. The Mark on the face wether it be a physical Mark (sign) or a symbolic Mark..
Islam is the only religion where the followers touch the ground with their foreheads many times a day as a ritual act of praying
2.. The reference that a FALSE prophet has lead these people astray and has deceived them..
This is indicating that the beast (The trickster) will use a false prophet to deceive many. Muslims have know way of knowing for sure that the spirit who revealed the revelations to Muhammad was in fact from God. Muhammad only had the sayso of this spirit himself. A trickster could come in any form and say he was from God in an attempt to deceive.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world"
3.. This Prophet wrought miracles before him.
The quran itself is regarded as a Miracle by muslims
4.. The reference that the followers of the false prophet will BEHEAD people ..
At the time this prophecy was revealed the common method for killing people was crucifixion... Beheading became a favourite method for muslims to kill people both in the past and also in recent times
5.. The reference that they SHALL drink of wine at the time of judgement..
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Islam is the only religion that says the followers of Islam will DRINK FROM RIVERS OF WINE in heaven. Again a trickster playing tricks
"By their conduct you can tell them. Are grapes picked from thorn-bushes-or figs from thistles? In the same way, as every good tree bears healthy fruit...Evidently then, by their conduct you can tell them."
We can tell the followers of a false prophet by their conduct.

Though far from everybody has a mark on their head, and we are not by a longshot the only ones with marks an our heads

what was it you said that the "holy" spirit, was again?
3.. This Prophet wrought miracles before him.

So thats a miraclE. what other miracleS did he come with, do you think?
4.. The reference that the followers of the false prophet will BEHEAD people ..

Lol@common method. Yeah the romans used that to people who where thiefes or political enemy's. Bheading is far from an idea arrived from the muslims. Perhaps the french freemasons who used the guillotine are satan. omg...the guillotine is satan!!!
besides burning people at the stake is much more Gods people like. lol5.. The reference that they SHALL drink of wine at the time of judgement..
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Islam is the only religion that says the followers of Islam will DRINK FROM RIVERS OF WINE in heaven. Again a trickster playing tricks
yeah and milk, and honey but is the verse states in the beginning. its a parralel. and analogy. I know a relegion that driks wine at every single cermon.
"By their conduct you can tell them. Are grapes picked from thorn-bushes-or figs from thistles? In the same way, as every good tree bears healthy fruit...Evidently then, by their conduct you can tell them."
We can tell the followers of a false prophet by their conduct.
So would they insult other peoples relegion, bt judging it with to their own? is that how you know them?
take a good long look at the vatican and its history, how christians have behaved throughout the colonisation of the world. so Isaa is satan?? OMG!!! burn him at the stake!Regards

OMG!! I just realised, the french freemasons where muslims.

Marks on foreheads (not faces) are a big part of that certain religion that albion (vincentia) follows evidently...

Yeah she looks really close to God. You can see her happy face from miles away.

The last one is from the movie "Stigmata" - I haven't seen the film but obviously the movie makers are exploring the satanic nature of such Christian inventions as stigmata. The photo above it is a 'priest' in case it wasn't clear (he has the white collar).
vincentia (aka albion) was trying to force the Pickthall sectarian translation of 'forehead' on us when it is her religion (and the polytheist hindus) amongst the misguided sunnis who favour such forehead based marks.
BTW I think the large majority of so called prostration marks I have seen on men's heads are fabricated like the stigmata. The 'genuine' ones are also deliberate in that the individual involved prostrates their head on hard concrete in a deliberate way and may even hit the head on the ground. These are the misguided rather than the deliberately deceptive ones.
I think they use sandpaper or rough stones to encourage a callous to form through regular rubbing. There is no way in the world a forehead will bear such a mark with under a hundred prostrations a day. It's a fabrication.
These people all however wish to be seen of men. The physical mark is more important to them than righteousness.

I asked this question earlier in the thread but so far no one has answered the question.
How can muslims be sure that the spirit (Gabriel) who spoke to muhammad, was in fact Gabriel and not a trickster (the beast or satan)
I found this photo on an Islamic website, its a photo that was taken need the Hira cave during Haj.
http//www.islamicpics.8k.com/images/jin.jpg
http//www.islamicpics.8k.com/photo3.html
The photo has this caption
An unbelievable Miracle
A Jin(Ghost) accidently captured by camera mear the Hira cave during Haj. The creature was seen only after the film was processed.Probably it get stunt for the milliseconds by the strong flashthat it materialise itself. Allahu'Alam.Could this be the same spirit who revealed the quran to muhammad and if so, is it a spirit from God or is it the beast as prophecied in the earlier scripture.
Combine this with the prophecy in the earlier scripture about the beast (Satan) and the false prophet who will deceive his followers who will have the make on their forehead (sura 4829) and who will "taste the wine of Gods wrath (vs quran.. Drink from rivers of wine in heaven ).
And the be-headed victoms of the follows of the false prophet will bear witness at the time of judgement.
And judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads (Revelation 204)

Hang on vincentia ... I know that photo; it's not at Mt Hira. It was published a few weeks ago as a secret Italian paparazzi shot of the interior of the Saudi Royal Palace. Palace insiders have denied it saying the photo could not possibly be of any Saudi palace because they prefer tent style decor and wall carpets as compared to the rockface simulations with special green Photoshop (tm) splotches shown in the photo.
The palace officials in turn say that it's actually a secret Vatican photo of the recent papal conclave - this creature is known as "Spiritu" is the Vatican's beloved pet. All the cardinals are sworn to secrecy regarding it. The story was leaked by one of the third world cardinals who was unable to shake off the hangover from the drunken wild debauchery that took place over the three days the cardinals had their love in.

It funny isnt it. when you point a finger at someone, 3 fingers point right back at you.

So tell us albion. Do you ooze hatred or is it contaminated safely inside you?

By the way, I am genuinely curious about how those marks (fabricated or not) are made. I want to dissect it and study what caused it!
Unfortunately, I haven't found people with sujud-marks who are willing to take part in this research program... ( It won't hurt if I do the anaesthetics right.

I calculated that for Muslims who perform ritual prayer, over their life time will have hit their forehead on the ground over 400,000 times. (based on 70yr life span)

peace be upon you albion,
I calculated that for Muslims who perform ritual prayer, over their life time will have hit their forehead on the ground over 400,000 times. (based on 70yr life span)
which brings the good possibility that the ahadith for the sunnah ritual prayer were probably invented before the rest of the ahadith based on the lack of common sense that it took to make such ahadith, a lack of brain cells could be a good reason for the stupidity that fills much of Bukhari
p.s.-jesus physically prostrated according to the gospels and a major problem is that you can conform the revelations prophecies to many religions, nations, creeds, etc. the problem is if you decide they are "the beast" before you even take an objective look at the conformity between their behavior and the prophecies

That's great vincentia.
It's just that these fabricated marks appear on the foreheads of 20 something males.
And if you want to know how some of those marks are made... here's a few pictorial clues given that you quite enjoy pics these days...

Does it remind you of 'passion' of the Christ? Does it remind you of stigmata? The group "Opus Dei" the catholic personal prelature of the pope is big on this sort of blood letting known as corporal mortification.

Funny how the same things appeal to the misguided followers of all man made religions.
Here are some christian flagellations and crucifixions...

and finally to get back on the topic of marks on the forehead. This group seems to like them too...

Yes but still the fact remains that about 90% of muslims are sunni and do perform ritual prayer and hit their foreheads on the ground hundreds of thousands of times during their lifetime.
?When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard. Do not be like them, for God knows what you need before you ask him?
The ritual pray of sunni's is the same as the Gentiles prayed in that verse, they repetitiously babbled the same words over and over in a ritual manner.
p.s.-jesus physically prostrated according to the gospels
Jesus humbled himself but he didn't pray in a ritual way, sometimes he prayed standing up with his head lifted towards the heaven, sometimes he prayed with his head bowed, sometimes prostated
God is everywhere, not in any special direction or place, and hitting your forehead on the ground serves no purpose other then to Mark your forehead
and a major problem is that you can conform the revelations prophecies to many religions, nations, creeds,
Not when all the points in that prophecy are combined
1.. the false prophet that wrought miracles ( the quran)
2.. with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast (quarn 4829)
3.. Shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God (The trickster changed this to "Drink from Rivers of Wine in Heaven")
4.. and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus
Its common knowledge that Muslims do this not only in terrorist acts but beheading is the capital punishment used in many muslims countries i.e Saudi Arabic etc.Yes one of these points alone may conform to other cultures and religions but when all are combined it only fits one religion
the problem is if you decide they are "the beast" before you even take an objective look at the conformity between their behavior and the prophecies
The Beast is in not one group of people. The Beasts is the one who deceived the false prophet and the followers of this false prophet. In other words The Beast (Trickster) convinced the false Prophet and his followers that he was a spirit from God.

1.. the false prophet that wrought miracles ( the quran)
the reading is only one "miracle", as I call "sign", what other "miracle(s)" did the prophet bring that would fulfill the prophecy as a plurality in regards to miracles
2.. with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast (quarn 4829)
the mark of the beast is on the forehead, even if you suscribed to a literal interpretation the ayah, it speaks on the face not the forehead
3.. Shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God (The trickster changed this to "Drink from Rivers of Wine in Heaven")
the thing is the revelations speaks about drinking the wine on judgment day, the reading talks about drinking the wine in the garden (al jannah) which causes no intoxication and as luxury, I take a metaphorical view of this though as I do all of the attributes of the garden (al jannah) in fact it describes some of the concealers (kafir) on the obligation/judgment day as seeming drunk though they are not drunk 222, thus I think this and the revelations verse is a metaphor describing a similar brain numbing effect God's retribution brings
4.. and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus
Its common knowledge that Muslims do this not only in terrorist acts but beheading is the capital punishment used in many muslims countries i.e Saudi Arabic etc.other countries behead, beheading has been a common capital punishment act in many countries and empires for a long time, plus what does it mean "for the witness of Jesus"
The Beast is in not one group of people. The Beasts is the one who deceived the false prophet and the followers of this false prophet. In other words The Beast (Trickster) convinced the false Prophet and his followers that he was a spirit from God.
"Paul" fits this description very well wink

Here are two more verses
812- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.
474- Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives
Those two verses also match the prophecy in revelation about the followers of the false prophet
"And judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus , and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads " (Revelation 204)
